Chapter 258

Even before he showed up, Miranda had a hunch about who it was.

The moment he stood in front of her, she instinctively turned to flee. What if this guy decided to give Alistair another thrashing in broad daylight? That would be mortifying.

This was the office entrance, bustling with people. Getting caught in such a scene would be terrible for her image. She had to maintain her reputation in the entertainment industry, after all.

However, her attempt to escape was futile against his quick reflexes. Just as she turned, a firm grip halted her.

Elian looked puzzled. "Why are you running?"

Miranda replied, "I'm worried there'd be a mortifier."
